The Emotions side to the Double Dutch exhibition curated by Jane Withers and created by the Flower Council of Holland consisted of 5 lush bouquets representing Love, Happiness, Jealousy, Sympathy and Anger designed by Miriam van der Lubbe and Niels van Eijk. The unusual emotions were the most captivating. Jealousy was deep black-red and the shape of the bouquet, all venomous tongues, said it all. Anger was prickly, far-reaching, and yet, beautiful. The bouquet included rose stems. Sympathy's blooms hid beneath the greens, unwilling to cause more hurt or trouble. Love was completely lush and lusty, and Happiness cannot be overlooked, as this bouquet was truly a bundle of joy. The idea behind these designs was simple: let's create more meaningful bouquets when we send flowers. This was one of the most energizing exhibitions of the London Design Festival.
